Abstract
A collector for a travelling-wave tube includes a collector core and a fin structure surrounding the core and having a plurality of fins for heat radiation. An oxide film having a thickness of greater than 50 .mu.m inclusive is formed on the outer periphery of the fin structure by anodization and has the maximum surface roughness of 12 .mu.m inclusive. When the 50 .mu.m or thicker oxide film is sealed or when a 45 .mu.m or thicker oxide film is formed and sealed, the oxide film is provided with the maximum surface roughness of greater than 12 .mu.m inclusive. The collector with any one of such structures achieves an emissivity of 0.90 or above and can efficiently radiate heat generated by the tube in the space.
